REEL FOR WINDING TRHVHVHNGS, RUCHINGS, 8a0.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 425,392, dated April 8, 1890.

. Application Bled November 4, 1889 `Serial No. 329,204. (No model.)

To all whom it may con/cern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE H. TAYLOR, a resident of N ew York city, in the county and State of New York, have invented an Improved Reel for Vinding Trimmings, Ruchings, and the Like, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part hereof, wherein- Figure l is a face View of my improved reel, part being broken away. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of' the same on the line c o, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view, partly broken, showing the reel and detachable shield used on the reel. Fig. 4 is a detail horizontal section on the line k lo, Fig. 2. Figs. 5 and 6 are views similar to Figs. l and 2, respectively, showing the detachable shield applied to an ordinary reel. Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the detachable shield, and Fig. 8 is a detail section on the line k2 k2, Fig. 6. l

The object of this invention is to so construir a reel for winding ruchings and other trimmmgs and the like that several layers of such trimmings may be applied without one layer crushing the other.

To this end my invention consists in the novel details of improvement and the combinations of parts that will be more fully hereinafter set forth, and then pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings, the letter open box having closed ends in which trimming, ruchings, or the like B is to be placed, part of the trimming being also wound around the box, whereby the outer layer of trimming is supported. The open box A also has projecting side flanges ZJ h, which serve to prevent the outer layer of trimming from slipping off the box.

The above arrangement constitutes a reel or the like, upon which ruching or the like can be wound as Well as laid within the box. The ruehing B is laid longitudinally back and forth in the box until said box is about full, when the ruohing B is Wound around A indicates an and sides, withthis reel or box in the usual manner, until one layer thereof covers said reel or box. 4It

support more ruehing is tol be wound, l take a shield D (shown more clearly in Figs. 3 and 7) and place it onto the reel or box. This shield D has curved ends at e and i'langesf at or near these curved ends. In fact, the iianges may extend from end to end as shown. The length of the shield is such that the space between its iianges is equal about tothe distance between the ends a of the box or reel proper, or, in other words, the length of the box A. Then this shield D is placed on the reel, hay ing one layer of ruching or the like thereon, its flanges f bear against the upturned sides a of the box, and keep the shield thus at suoli a distance from the box or reel proper as not to interfere with or crush the ruchings or the like that are wound on said box or reel. The shield being thus applied the ruehing or other trimming is continued to be wound around said shield, as in Figs. 2 and G, the shield serving to 4torni a for the second outer layer and preventing terfering with the inner or the iirst layer. After this outer layer has been applied to the shield so as to cover it, another shield of the same character, but proportionately different in size, may be applied to the first shield, and so on indefinitely.

The shield D may, if desired, be used with an ordinary reel A2, as in Figs. 5, G, and 8. In said figures the cross-bars a2 are secured at their ends to the iianges b l), as usual. Over the cross-bars CL2 a covering of paper or pasteboard d may be laid, as in Fig. G. With this arrangement the ruchingl is first wound around the reel A2 and then the shield D placed over the saine, the rnching beingthen wound around the shield and reel as before explained.

Figs. 2 and (3 represent the reel A, having the shield D within an outer box E, in which the goods are usually packed for transportation.

Having now described my invention, what I claim is l. The open box A, having projecting side iianges b, rounded ends, closed bottom, and open top, substantially as described, to oonthe outer layer from in any way in` stitutea receptacle for an inner layer and a ends, 'support for an outer layei` of trimming or fabrio B, substantially as described. 2. The combination 0f a reel with the de- 5 tachable shield D, having curved ends e, side anges f, and open face, substantially as' Vitnesses: herein shown and described. MARY HUBER,
